Indian Land Allotment.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The Indian
office, with the approval of the secre-
tary of the interior, has prepared letters
of instruction for the guidance of the
special agents recently appointed to
allot lands in severalty to the Indians.
Special Agent Howard, who is assigned
to duty OIL the Crow reservation i'll MOn
tana, is instructed that the allOtmentS to
these Indians are to be governed by the
treaty or agreement approved by act of
congress of April II, 1882. By this
treaty each Indian will receive, in addi
ton to the number of acres specified
in the act of Jan. 8, 1887,
an equal amount of grazing lands. To
illustrate: Each head of a family will
revive f60 acres of agricultural lands
and also 100 acres of grazing lands. The
agent is instructed that where an In
dian has a plurality OF wives, the first
wife should be regarded as the legal
one, and the others allowed to take al
lotments as single persons. Indian
women married to white men should be
regarded as heads of families. The
white husbands cannot take allotmentS.
In all cases where Indian women
have been married to Indian hus-
bands and have children born of.
such marriage, but have been divorced
from such husband after the Indian
custom, the mother should receive all
allotment of land as the head of the
family and should be allowed to select
land for her children, not under the
charge of the father, if competent to do
so. The WinnebagO Indians in Ne
braska and the Siletz Indians in Oregon
will take their lands under the general
severalty act of Feb. 8, 1887. With this
exception the direction to special agents
for the WinnebagO and SiletZ tribes are
the same as sent to Special Agent
Howard.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 1.-The cleo
ton for state and legislative officers of
Kentucky passed off quietly to-day. The
weather was clear and hot, and the vote
does not seem to have been large owing
to the length OF the ticket, and local
contest returns are meagre. The labor
and Prohibition vote are smaller than
was anticipated. In Louisville
the Democratic majority is about 1000
Democratic gain of nearly 1900 over
the last election. The city elects
solid Democratic legislative ticket and
defeats local option by heavy major
ity. The county and city give Dem
Ocratic majority of 5000. Meagre re-
turns from the state indicate a Republi-
can gain. but the Democratic tickets
estimated majority will be from twenty
five to tliirty-five thousand votes.

UNBIDDEN GUESTS.
Fatal Fight at Christening
Party

New YORK, Aug. 1.-There was a
christening last night in the family of
William Mullen, of 642 Gates avenue,
Brooklyn, which broke up about mid
night in a desperate fight, in which one
man was killed, a woman fatally
wounded and two OF three others cut
and bruised. There were fifteen or six
teen invited guests, and the festivities
went along pleasantly until late hour,
when Daniel Mullen and Dennis Dillon
made their appearance. They were un-
hidden guests and had forced their en-
trance. They dashed into the room. and
Mullen declared that he and Dillon
were as good men as were i'll the party,
and could clean out the whole party.
A FIGHT
Immediately followed. The intruders
drew their knives and cut right and
left. The desperate struggle was con-
tinued down the stairs and to the street
amid the screams of the men and
wOmen. When the participants had
been finally separated Michael Mullen,
aged nineteen years. and his sister, Mrs.
Annie Pearl, were lying Oh the side
walk covered with blood from several
cuts in the breast and side. Michael
Mullen and Mrs. Pearl were placed in
an ambulance and taken to st. Mary'S
hospital. On reaching the hospital it
was found that Mullen was dead. Mrs.
Pearl had three wounds i'll the breast,
and she will probably die. John Mullen
and Norris Mullen were also cut, but
not seriously. The visit of the men
grew out of feud of six months stand
ing between them and the brothers
John and Morris Mullen.

LONDON, Aug. lit is stated on good
authority that the object of the govern
ment in prOclaiming the whole Of Ire
land under the crimes act, instead of
excluding Ulster from its operation, as
it was generally expected would be
done, was to reach all branches Of
the National league. This step taken,
nothing further in the way of prOnun-
clament is necessary toward SuppreSSing
the organization. as far as the govern
ment is able to accomplish its suppress
sion, and it is definitely known that the
Irish magistrates and police will be Or
dered to terminate the existence of the
league during the last week of the par
llamentary session. The government will
find, however, that ordering the
suppression of the league and suppress
ing that body are quite different matters.
Even now public meetings of the league
are rare, but private meetings are of
nightly occurrence in various parts of
Ireland and the police are none the
wiser. So far as show is concerned the
league has practically suppressed itself,
put so far as carrying out the object of
Its existence is concerned it was never
more alive than now. A few arrests
may be made under the decree of sup

The writ of habeas corpus in her case

taken no action on Secretary Fairchild's
letter instructing them to give the case

BLAINE, OF MAINE.

BRIDGE OF EARN, Aug. Whatever
may have been Mr.. Blaine's genuine in
tention when he threatened early in the
week to go home Immediately, he has
again switched completely around and
now says he will spend the winter on
the continent There is something more
than mere caprice in this change of
front, and the transformation has been
accompanied by such ructiOns at Kill
graSt0n as the Indifference of the no
bllity could never raise. If MIR. Blalne'S
intended flight was subterfuge for his
relief from Mr.. Carnegie's upas-like
friendship, chance was devising a hap
pier escape from him. | am not i'll a
position to say whether the Sherman
resolution passed by the Ohio conven-
ton is responsible for this, but | do
know that on Friday Mr.. Blaine
received an imposing batch Of cables
from the United States. and the
the alteration CT plans then began.
Some of these were queries from the
Blaine organs about his health and pur-
pose of returning home; few Ohio ad-
vices: others came from Mr.. Blaine'S
friends, and [ understand were i'll effect
remonStrances against his return. Mr..
Blaine and Mr.. Carnegie retired to the
latter'S house, where
THEY DISCUSSED THE SITUATION
at length and finally lrew up single
form of reply for instant cabling to the
several correspondents. This told that
Mr.. Blaine's health and spirits were eX-
cellent, and that all his original plans
would be carried out, which implies a
journey through the continental cOun-
tries and winter sojOurn on the Medi-
teranean. The formula of inform&-
ton described was sent to
a number of points i'll the
United States, and to London as
well, and now it may be set down with
out fear, for a time at least, that Mr.
Blaine will further cultivate his i'm
proved health i'll Europe, while his
trusted followers develop their sympa-
thetic campaign in the states. That he
fatty announced his purpose of going
home within few weeks you need not
doubt. How much of that announce
ment was sincere | cannot say. Mr..
Blaine is too great politician, even i'll
his ldleneSS, to encourage an ordinary
mortal in the desire to measure his
motives. Now it does not seem GER
tain, either. that he will start for the
IrOSSachs tomorrow morning, though
all the necessary arrangements have
been made. At Kilgraston yesterday

forming his subjects that the British
government is holding six infantry divi-

with cavalry and artillery, in readiness
to march into Afghanistan to suppress
the revolt of the ameer's enemies in the
interior. The proclamation adds: Il
can suppress the Ghilzais without them.
but they are ready in case Russia takes
advantage of the rebellion to invade the
country" The ameer invites the rebels
to return home, and says he will only
punish the chiefs in the insurrection.
He warns Great Britain against per
mitting AyOuab Kahn to approach the
frontier. The opponents of the ameer
explain that issuing proclamation the
ameer is playing his last trump card.
and he finds that the people value his
